Before drilling, the airplane was put in the three-point attitude and the adapter flanges were aligned to vertical. This will allow toe-in to be adjusted with a simple wedge shim or a wedge cut on the aluminum axle flanges.
The torque plate flanges were drilled using the flange adaptor as a guide.
After drilling the Grove axles were temporarily installed.
With the wheels installed, the center-line of the airplane was laid out on the floor.
A four foot straight edge was aligned with the brake disks to establish the actual toe dimensions.
Each wheel was within a tenth of a degree of 1.8 degrees toe-in with the airplane in the three point attitude.

The aluminum axle flanges will be machined to give a 1.8 degree toe-out correction for each side. This will give zero toe in the three point attitude and a little toe-out as the tail comes up.
